I used zip ties for as tempoary only. I plan to buy a Spark Plug Boot Protectors from Summit racing next week. I have no problem with fitting NO hit frame or anything like that. I glad that OBX is good and cheap $ instead not buy a expensive cause I still goal to get turbo set up in future. I can sell OBX as used since I am using right now

Im curious what 1/4 sec on my truck I would get? maybe 14-15 sec? I never take it to track. But one day I will. I need more accleration. Maybe next cam is 212/218 cam and 918s valvesprings. Will help more?

should be low 14, possible even dip into the 13s. Your truck moves really well....swap to 4.10s and don't look back. Trust me, before you do another single mod swap to 4.10s.
